Maldivian Sign Language (MvSL) is a sign language that was developed, largely spontaneously, by deaf children in a number of schools in Maldives in the 2000. It is of particular interest to the linguists who study it because it offers a unique opportunity to study what they believe to be the birth of a new language.
